If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your terminal emulation software to initiate an XMODEM transfer of the firmware file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that time, the dialog box will disappear and the terminal emulation software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then try again.
The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new firmware into effect. While the system resets, the LEDs will blink on and off.
